Thank you to our longtime supporters and friends a

Thank you to our longtime supporters and friends at @allagashbrewing for everything they do for their local trails! They’re one of our Adopt-a-Trail sponsors, and last month their staff and families spent a day cleaning up and tending to their adopted trail, Riverton Trolley Park 🌳

A scene pretty enough to paint! 👨‍🎨🎨

The trails are beautiful in every season, but there’s something magical about that fresh green color returning to the landscape. May this inspire you to go explore a trail you love today!

Thank you to @clark.insurance.1931 for supporting

Thank you to @clark.insurance.1931 for supporting Portland Trails! Not only are they one of our Adopt-a-Trail partners, but their staff recently took the time to help us with some trail work 💪

"We support Portland Trails because we believe in extending our culture of teamwork beyond our walls and into our communities. We see the importance of connecting individuals and improving access to the outdoors, while promoting healthy, active lifestyles. Employees at our Portland headquarters particularly love accessing the trails during or after work, especially on beautiful Maine days.”

It’s Bike Month! Dust off your helmet, tune up your bike, and hit the street - or the trails 🚲 This month, we’re challenging you to replace one (or more!) of your car trips with a bike trip. Tag us in your bike photos with #PortlandTrailsBikeMonth!

Every year, over 1,000 volunteers help us: maintain the trail network, take care of natural spaces, improve access to biking and walking around Greater Portland, hold events, send mailings, and so much more. Volunteers are a vital part of the Portland Trails community, and we’re grateful for each person who has lent their time, talent, and sweat to the trails. Happy #NationalVolunteerMonth! 🔨

Tell elected officials that you want action on climate change and support for people and ecosystems who are most affected by it. Link in bio!
After your hard work, join us at Apres to toast 30 years of Portland Trails for their Portland Trails Seltzer release day!

THIS FRIDAY! Celebrate Earth Day by giving back to the green spaces in your neighborhood, then stop by @apresdrinks for a celebratory drink! Our friends at Apres have conjured up hard seltzer evocative of a walk in the Maine woods. $1 of every pint sold will be donated to Portland Trails.

Introducing the Portland Trails Seltzer from @apre

Introducing the Portland Trails Seltzer from @apresdrinks! 🍻 Last week, the Portland Trails team headed to Après for canning day! We learned all about how brewers make seltzer perfectly fizzy, helped package the cans, and even got to enjoy some samples. The seltzer will be released next Friday, Earth Day (4/22) 🌎 Stop by Après any time that day and toast with us to 30 years of Portland Trails!

A portion of all proceeds will be donated to Portland Trails.

Join the Portland Trails team! Our Seasonal Trail

Join the Portland Trails team! Our Seasonal Trail Crew position is open, and we’re looking for one or two people who are excited about taking care of the beautiful 70+ mile trail system. Learn more at the link in our bio!

Thank you to Developers Collaborative for adopting

Thank you to Developers Collaborative for adopting a section of the Evergreen Cemetery Trail! When asked why they support Portland Trails, Developers Collaborative said, “because trails and green space are a critical complement to the built environment and give Portland’s neighborhoods a true sense of place.” 🌳

Happy spring! 🌼🌱🌞 The trails are muddy, the birds are chirping, and the falls are flowing...sounds like spring to us!

All this fresh snow is perfect for cross-country skiing! ⛷ When you see ski tracks on a trail, please be courteous and walk next to the tracks - not in the tracks - to keep them in tact for future skiers. This helps keep our multimodal trails fun and functional for all our trail users!

Have you spotted one of these on a trail lately? This little contraption is not a camera - it’s a trail counter! We are collecting data on trail usage throughout our network that will help us measure the effectiveness of trail projects as well as advocate for people-powered transportation infrastructure. We ask that you leave them be - they’re an important (and expensive!) tool that will help us for years to come!

Meet our 2022 Resilience Corps member Charlie Cobb

Meet our 2022 Resilience Corps member Charlie Cobb! Through a partnership with @greaterportlandcog, he’ll be working with us this year to help improve people-powered transportation on the trail network. He’s collecting and managing data on trail usage and is helping us improve our trail maps and on-trail signage so they’re easier for people to navigate.

If you see him while you’re out on the trails, say hi!

“Traditional cultures...recognize that human peo

“Traditional cultures...recognize that human people are only one manifestation of intelligence in the living world. Other beings, from Otters to Ash trees, are understood as persons, possessed of their own gifts, responsibilities, and intentions. This is not some kind of mistaken anthropomorphism. Trees are not misconstrued as leaf-wearing humans but respected as unique, sovereign beings equal to or exceeding the power of humans.”

-Robin Wall Kimmerer from her essay “Hearing the Language of Trees”

Welcome to the Adopt-A-Trail family, @tcfcu_maine!

Welcome to the Adopt-A-Trail family, @tcfcu_maine! Their adopted trail is the iconic and popular Presumpscot River Preserve at the Overset Rd trailhead. Along with @martinspointhealthcare and @southworthpodr, their support of this trail is essential to the maintenance and conservation work we do. Check out the trail this winter for one of the loveliest views around of the Presumpscot River! #portlandtrails #presumpscotriver #supportlocal

And that’s (almost) a wrap on 2021! 🎉 We did some incredible things together this year, with plenty more to do in 2022. Here are nine awesome things that happened this year at Portland Trails.

1. We celebrated our 30th anniversary! 🥳 In this photo from 1993, volunteers are installing the bridge over Jewell Falls.
2. We received a grant from the Idexx Foundation to extend the Stroudwater Trail further into Westbrook.
3. We made system-wide trail upgrades, including this leg of the North Deering bicycle byway, that improve access to people-powered transportation.
4. Volunteers were back on the trails, in the office, and at events! How we missed them so in 2020.
5. Lindsay Conrad joined the Portland Trails team as our new development lead, and we’re just as excited as she is in this pic. 😃
6. East Bayside youth volunteers created trail connections in Kennedy Park this fall.
7. City at Your Feet had participants traveling around Portland by foot, bike, and bus for a two-day scavenger hunt.
8. We held Waypoints in September, a new event celebrating the Portland Trails community.
9. Runners and walkers once gain gathered for some festive fun at this year’s Holiday Dash 5K.

Thank you for making all of this possible. If you’d like to contribute to our 2021 Annual Fund, you can donate until midnight tomorrow! Link in bio.

30 years (and counting) of being grateful for you. ❤️ However and whenever our paths crossed, we couldn’t do this work without you. Thank you for helping to create a healthier and better connected community for all.

We also acknowledge that this holiday is rooted in colonization and is a painful day for many of our Wabanaki and other Indigenous neighbors. We invite you to take a few moments to sit with these complicated emotions and read or listen to stories of grief, pain, and healing.

Our annual appeal has begun! 🎉 When you give a

Our annual appeal has begun! 🎉 When you give a new or increased gift to Portland Trails, Trustee Jenny Scheu will match it. That means that for the amount you give, the organization will receive double! Jenny is a local artist, longtime Portland Trails member, and urban trails enthusiast. She’s donating to create a more walkable, bikeable, and healthier future. Help us reach our match goal of $10,000!

This week, we replaced our staff meeting with some team bonding trail work in the Presumpscot River Preserve! 🛠 Jaime and Daniel taught Kara, Lindsay, Alison, & Bailey a thing or two (or a thousand), and we ended up with a beautiful new bridge near the falls. 💪 Swipe to see the process of tearing apart the old bridge and building a new one.
